The revisions of these cables whether they come from Cisco or from HP (OEM) are exactly the same. VC doesn’t distinguish one from another because it is impossible, it is the same exact cable.

The earlier revision of the cable will show “Linked”.

Earlier in the year, Cisco’s vendor made changes and internal revised the part#, which if those newer cables are installed (doesn’t matter if they are from Cisco or HP (OEM), will show as “Linked/Uncertified”.
